Is there a way to set up browse sequences for project with multiple TOCs and conditionalized modules

I'm using RoboHelp 9 with WebHelp output.
I've got five outputs, one of which contains Help for common functions, while the other four contain Help for licensed modules. When a user opens the Help for a licensed module, the user sees the core Help and the licensed Help. In addition, files are conditionalized so that searching for unlicensed content from a licensed Help module brings up nothing.
I've been troubleshooting problems with the Previous Topic and Next Topic which, thanks to William, I learned are related to browse sequences. After trying assorted configurations, I've got a couple of questions:
Does RH support only a single browse sequence in a project, even when the project has multiple outputs & TOCs?
If RH supports only a single browse sequence, does that mean there is no way to create a unique browse sequence for each separate output?
If RH supports multiple browse sequences, what is the workflow?
I also maintain a 'master' TOC that contains all the modules, both common and unlicensed. What I've done for now is to autocreate a browse sequence based on the 'master TOC'. When I generate output for a licensed module, which is conditionalized, I only see the TOC for that module and, therefore, can only browse between books and subbooks in that module. I've also verified that topics that do not appear in the conditionalized module, such as for another licensed module, do not appear in the Search results list either.

You also asked about the functional differences between WebHelp and WebHelp Pro, so let me elaborate.
I'm aware of only two major differences (other than the extra benefits of feedback analytics reports and management of "Areas" with authentication in RoboHelp Server).
The behavior of Browse Sequences as explained above
The fact that Content Categories are not supported in WebHelp Pro for this latest version 9.
As for the Browse Sequences you are trying to provide for different modules (licensed, etc.): Multiple Browse Sequences are included in a single .BRS file. The sequences are defined in the XML within the single file.
As a workaround (for either WebHelp or WebHelp Pro) you could create a NGP Help.brs. which you have already created for one module; then backup and archive it. Then, create a modification for the different module before you generate again. The NGP Help.brs. will need to have the same name as your project so you will have to manage the desired .brs file into the project folder when you generate that version. All of your other choices (TOC, Index, Conditional Tags, etc.) would remain the same for the respective modules.
Finally, I note that you are apparently generating WebHelp Pro right now even though you are not publishing it to the RH Server? This is really not the best practice. You should generate plain WebHelp for a web server that does not have RH Server on it (even though you may be getting away with it). As for your concern about "breaking" something; each output is placed in a different !SSL! folder automatically when you generate, so you should be able to generate WebHelp without interferring with the WebHelp Pro output. Then, you can re-publish to the RH Server using WebHelp Pro whenever the server is ready.

    Unless you subscribe to iTunes Match, iCloud doesn't sync music.  Just set up every person's devices on a separate iCloud account and your iCloud data and photo stream will remain separated.  Each iCloud account will need a separate ID, but it does not need to be the same as your iTunes ID.  You can continue to share the same iTunes ID and maintain separate iCloud accounts with separate IDs for iCloud.
    You'll also want to use separate IDs for each person for iMessage and FaceTime.  This will keep your text messages and FaceTime called separated as well.  The easiest way to do this is to have everyone use their iCloud ID for these two services as well.

  • Is there a way of working collaboratively on a flex project with a small project group?

    Is there a way of working collaboratively on a flex project with a small project group?
    I am part of a small group of developers who wish to work on a single flex project together. Is there a way to set up flex so that the project can be developed by multiple people at the same time. I have seen one thread out on the internet about working locally and then uploading to SVn but this is not an option in this case.
    Any ideas.
    Many thanks in advance

    I would say that rushing into development without a source-control system will cost you more in the long-run. If your organisation is serious about developing software it then it needs to invest in the necesary infrastructure, so you should get that process kicked-off as soon as possible.
    In the interim you could set-up a source control server on one developer's machine or commandeer a spare machine to use as a temporary source control server. Just make sure you have it backed-up regularly. Or you could use one of the online source control services; many will support private repositories for a small fee.

  • Is there a way to set window dimensions before publishing project as standalone from Aggregator?

    Hi,
    I am combining several SWF files using aggregator and publishing it as a Standalone (.exe) File type. The executable works fine and displays all the files as expected. The expectation from the customer is to have the ability to maximize, minimize the window of the executable. Is there a way to set the dimensions before publishing the standalone. Currently, I am able to minimize or close the window and not maximize the window of the exe.
    P.S - I am using Captivate 4.
    Thanks,

  • Is there a way to set Minimum Time Requirement for a course?

    Is there a way to set a minimum time requirement in a Capitvate 5 course?
    For example, the learner must be in the course for a minimum of 30 minutes or the course can not be considered "complete."  This is a SCORM course and the learner's record in the LMS will not show the course as complete until the learner has been in the course at least 30 minutes.  (This minimum time requirement may or may not be in conjunction with also passing a test with 80%.  for example, in order to be considered complete, the user must be in the course for at least 30 minutes AND pass test questions with a score of at least 80%)
    Perhaps some modification of the Timer Widget described by Lilybiri at http://bit.ly/ep5cOY?
    Or, some modification of the SCORM Manifest?

    Lilybiri,
    Thanks to your 2 articles on variables and advanced actions as well as a few other resources (listed below) I was able to get up-to-speed enough on Adobe Captivate variables and advanced actions and implement your solution 90%.
    The last 10% is...
    You had recommended in Step 2 to "Attach a score of 0points to the CBNo and a score of 100points (just an example) to the CBYes."
    My question is, how do I attach points to the buttons? Is "score" a system variable? Also, is there anything special I need to know about these attached points in terms of how they will be communicated to our LMS using SCORM protocol?
    And as a final thought....
    If someone exits the eLearning and then re-enters the next day, I think that the cpInfoElapsedTimeMS will reset to zero, is that correct?  Is there way for the project to remember what the cpInfoElapsedTimeMS was?   We are using this in conjunction with an LMS using SCORM, if that is helpful.

  • Is there a way to set pixel aspect ratio for a project?

    This is related to another post I made about using iShowU HD, a screen capture program (for screen casts). On their support page, they show example settings for FCP, but not for FCP X. I was wondering if someone could take a look at that page and decypher that for FCP X. One thing the specify for FCP is to set the pixel aspect ratio to "square pixels", as well as some other things. Also, is it good to use 30 fps?
    This is the support page:

  • Is there a way to burn images in a specific project with a certain star rating directly to a disc?

    I want to burn all the one-starred images in a project to a disc, and was wondering if there is a way to do it directly from Aperture, instead of having to export them to a file, and then burn them to the disc.  Also, when I do this, shots from multiple cameras with different images series numbers get out of order.  I want them to be cronological, as they are in Aperture.

    Sorry, no, you cannot burn directly from Aperture without exporting.
    However, you can define an Automator workflow, so that you do it more easily from within Aperture:
    Open Automator and create a service to receive "no input" in Aperture
    Drag an "Find Image Versions in Aperture" Action into the Workflow, set to Rating is equal "1"
    Add an "Export Versions" Action
    Add an Burn on DIsk Action.
    Install the Service in your Library in the "Services" folder
    Then you will be able to activate the Service from the Aperture -> Services menu.
    To order CD chronologically, export with an export name format "Image Date -Time".

  • HT1766 Hello, I'm trying to back my Iphone 5 up and it's asking for my passcode which I can't enter into my phone because my screen is smashed? Is there another way around it? I have an appointment with Apple tomorrow and need to back it up ASAP. Thanks.

    Hello, I have a smashed (just front screen, screen works but is green and liney) Iphone 5 that is totally unusable. I'm trying to back my phone up before my appointment with Apple tomorrow but it keeps asking me to unlock my phone which I can not do! Is there another way around this? Really don't want to lose my photos. Thanks.

    There's no way around it other than to back it up using the computer you normally sync with. If you haven't been syncing/backing up on a regular basis, you're hosed.

  • How to set default email address for contact with multiple addresses.

    Apologies if this has been asked before, it seems a very basic question but I'm unable to find an answer.
    Can a default address be set in Address Book for a contact with multiple addresses? Or if not, which address does it send to "automatically" when this condition exists? I know you can manually select the address you want to use, but what if the contact is added to a group?
    Thanks
    Denis

    Thanks for the reply, buy I have no idea what this means.
    I have the same question. I have a contact that has five email addresses. When I add the person to a group, Mail automatically selects one of the addresses, but not the one I want. I need to go back and manually select the correct address. Can't I select one of these addresses as the default to be used all the time?
    Apologies for not quite understanding the first reply.
